The "G" pin will carry all kinds of signals, including composite and Luma (Y from component). On a component signal you additionally use "R" for Pr and "B" for Pb.

On the input side you need to adapt those signals to the HD15 input. Pretty use, but your source must - of course - be able to output these signals already.

If you PC does not, then you can use a scan converter like the Extron VSCs. Here you input 31khz VGA/RGBHV and you get both 15khz composite and YPbPr on the output, which you can then route through a RGB interface.
